Grace For You Today!
Knowing the Father of Glory brings rest in every test!
“So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into the wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah. And the people complained against Moses, saying, ’What shall we drink?’”
— Exodus 15:22-24 (NKJV)
As we pursue God’s best for our lives, we may encounter delays, challenges, or situations that fall far below our expectations—even concerning our basic needs.
The children of Israel experienced this when they went three days without water in the wilderness. Imagine the difficulty—not just going without water for three hours on a hot day, but enduring for three full days! When they finally found water, it was bitter and undrinkable. This was not what they had hoped for—it was not even of normal standard, let alone the luxury of cold, refreshing water.
Naturally, such moments raise questions:
_“Am I truly following God’s will?”_
_“Would God really lead me into such a difficult situation?”_
_“What will people say?”_
_“Why is this happening to me alone?”_
Beloved, this was a time of testing! But how did the people respond? They complained against Moses.
God’s tests are never meant to destroy us but to direct us toward His perfect rest. When we seek His rest, He reveals the way forward—transforming bitterness into sweetness.
“So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested them.”— Exodus 15:25
The tree that turned bitter water sweet signifies the Cross of Christ! Through His finished work:
• Restlessness turns into peace.
• Sorrow turns into joy.
• Poverty turns into prosperity.
• Struggles against sin turn into a life established in righteousness—free from evil, terror, and oppression!
In your season of testing, seek His rest. Refuse to react negatively to adverse situations. Your breakthrough is near—God’s best is just ahead!
Amen!
Praise Jesus, our RIGHTEOUSNESS!
